Democratic lawmakers call for racial data in virus testing

Democratic lawmakers are calling out an apparent lack of racial data that they say is needed to monitor and address disparities in the national response to the coronavirus outbreak

Injustice, inequality &racist systems are not on "pause" due to this virus, if anything the black white racial wealth gap will widen & why we needed big structural change, so glad to see our girl & many others STILL calling it out. Righteous Fights Only.

U.S. cities with large black & brown populations such as Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee &New Orleans have emerged as hot spots of the coronavirus outbreak. Look at how this administration has responded to these states to prepare them now & beyond. Race matters,call it out.

Speaking of cities with black populations adding the link to much more detailed thread and data just released on Michigan to this thread!
